Force to Render to PDF

Hi
Is it possible to force a report to always render in a specific format (in
this case PDF) and remove the option for the user to change the format in
Report Manager
Thanks
PuddyUsing the standard front end, the answer is no...
You have the capability to modify XML configuration files to expose new
render formats, or to prevent the display and use of existing formats, but
this applies to all users..
To do a custom thing, you'd have to write the front using the API or URL
access with the render command...
You could also perhaps hide the report, then add an html page which simply
calls the URL passing the PDF renderer - That might work for you..
